Anyone else feel this way? Just moved here 13 months ago and Poverty rate is 14.5%, which is around average. Rent is about $912/month for a decent place. With a population of 71,118, Dothan is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Am I wrong here? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
